The Greatest Invention of the Age,
INOESTRUCTIBLE FUEL CARTRIDGE

The Fuel Cartridge is the only perfect device
ever invented by which kerosene oil can be
used as fuel in any ordinary cook stove, range
or heater. The Fuel Cartridge is metal cyl
inder packed with ncombustible material,
with absorbent qualities sufficient TO absorb
one pint of oil, which will burn one honr
and produce enough heat to cook a meal. or
warm a room, without the aid of coal, wood,
or other fuel. NO DANGER.
There is not the slightest danger in using
kerosene with the Fuel Cartridge, as from its
opeu porous form it conn0t explode and is
therefore no more dangerous than Coal or
Wood. HOW USED.
The Fuel Cartridge is so simple that but
brief directions for its use are necessary. With
each cartridge is a tin can and all that is neces-
sary is to fill the with oil sufiiient to cover
cartridge allow il TO soak three minutes, or as
muchlouge as you desire, then with an or
binary poker place 1t in your stove on piece of
paper light the paper and your fire is ready
After the cartridge Is fairly burning shut your
front drafts and regulate with hampers in
stove pipe, When not in use the cartridge
should be kept in the can. It's not necessary
to remove coal ashes from the firebox OF your
stove il the cartridge is used after coal has
been burned, as the remaining ashes will raise
the cartridge into position. when 1t will give
more intense heat to the top stove,
Price of Cartridge and Can Complete, $500.

Rare Geological Attractions.

One of the chief features of S. H.
Barrett's menagerie is a huge double
horned black rhinoceros-the unicorn OF
holy writ, and the sole specimen, it is
said. on the continent. This singular
beast has many points of attraction, a
notable one being his wonderfully thick
hide. which is ~invulnerable to the ordi-
nary rifle bullet. Barrett has a standing
offer of $2O $1,000 from the Philadelphia
geological society for the animal. The
department of the Barrett show is excep.
tionally complete and attractive through
out. 1t was extensively replenished last
winter by European and Oriental impor-
tations.
Rev. I. Dewitt Talmage makes the
following complimentary remarks anent
this geological collection: Il passed two
very pleasant and profitable hours in ex,
aiming Mr.. Barrett's remarkable collec
ton of wild animals. The huge black
%rhiuoceros possesses peculiar interest"

A Popular Laramie Man.

Larry Fee, ex-city marshal of Laramie,
was in town yesterday. Larry has retired
from the pursuit Of criminals, and now
devotes his time and energies to raising
vegetables for the Laramie market on
his ranch near that city. Mr.. Fees ia
vorite fruit is the potato, and he grows
immense crops of them every year. For
a breastpin the ex-oficial invariably wears
an enormous specimen of the product of
his farm in the shape of a huge potato.
OF course he attracts a great deal of at
tention when abroad, but he doesn't seem
to mind it.
Anyone who ever met Mr.. Fee has
probably noticed that he limps slightly.
This trifing %impediment in his gait was
caused by a ball fired from a six shooter
by the notorious desperate Jack Wat
kins while Larry was attempting his ar
rest.

A gang of boys who often cause quiet
and peaceful citizens of the south side to
indulge in discussions as to whether life
is worth the living after all, should be
suppressed. The police have several
times been called upon to rebuke these
hoodlums. but they are evidently IRE
pressible. Breaking windows, s~toning
strangers and fighting among themselves
are the favorite pastimes of this gang.
The latest depreciation committed by
the malicious and seemingly ~uncontroll-
able element is a serious one, and not
only endangers their own liberty, but
places a large number of good citizens al
a great inconvenience. Some time Tues.
day night this disreputable coterie de-
molished the mail box in front of the
Montana house, smashing the c~astiron
receptacle into pieces.
The post Office authorities will not re-
place the box, and the residents of that
locality will thereby be seriously discom-
NODDED.
Hoodlums in other portions of the city
also tamper with the letter boxes, forcing
stones, old paper and other rubbish into
them, and destroying the cards notifying
citizens of collection hours.
The penalty for molesting appliances or
articles used in connection with the mail
service is extremely severe, being some-
thing like a s 5000 fine and ten years i'm.
prisonment.

ex-territorial stenographer" for Wyoming,
and well known in this city, had passed
away at Princeville Ore, last Thursday.
Mr.. Richardson left this section several
years e and entered upon the practice
Of the law. his chosen profession. He
was a young man possessed of many ster-
ling qualities and was a favorite with all
who were 80 fortunate as to form his
acquaintance. A severe attack of typhoid
fever was the cause of his sudden demise.
Although but % years of age, Mr..
Richardson was a prominent member of
the K. Of P. His remains were taken
charge OF by that order and the Portland
Bar Association until relatives arrived
from Washington, D. c., where the final
interment will take place. He was soon
to have been married to an estimable
young lady of East Portland.

City Engineer Miller submitted the fol-
lowing approximate estimate for the sink
ing of al artesian well: For not less than
500 feet, with an eight inch casing at the
top and six inch at the bottom. at 81. 80
per foot. $3.50.
Councilman Griffin suggested that the
city publish advertisements in the official
paper and a Denver and Greeley journal
calling for bids for the sinking of the de-
sired well. 1t was so ordered.
This project has been agitated by the
board OF trade ever since the organization
OF the body, and is taken in hand by the
council at the unanimous request of the
trustees of the board. They desire to
demonstrate to the satisfaction of parties
who contemplate establishing factories in
this city that a sufficient supply of good,
pure water can be obtained for a nominal
sltlay. The county commissioners have
kindly donated to the city the use of the
pipe remaining at the unfinished well at
the county hospital. 1t is more than
probable that work upon the well will
commence in a few weeks and be pushed
vigorously. Once completed it will be Of
almost inestimable value to the city.
1t is not the intention of the city to
sink what is technically known as an arte-
sian or flowing well, but a drive well. the
plan being to force the fluid to the surface
by the aid OF steam pumps.
Though not definitely settled, it Is tacit-
ly understood that the parties to whom
the contract will be awarded will operate
near the city pump house.
On motion of Alderman Whitcomb the
city clerk was instructed to notify the
eastern concern owning the trial filter in
front of the opera house that the contriv-
ance was subject to their order. The
filter cannot be used by the city during
the winter as it would be frozen up Q
greater portion of the time unless placed
indoors. 1t is said hat Hon. E. Maggie
will purch ase the water purifier for use il
his new residence.
Prior to adjournment the council tend,
cred a vote of thanks to the retiring city
engineer, VIM. G. provinces. The gentle
man has been an efficient official and his
services and assistance have been appreci
sted by the aldermen and citizens gener
ally.
